Chapter 672: How Loyal Ministers Are Made Six
The first year of the Great Tomorrow Dao, the third day of the third month of March.
Northeast of Lin'an City.
"Victorious! Win! The surrounding battlefield sounded a huge shout like a tsunami, sweeping across the tall and magnificent city walls from the east and north sides of Lin'an City, and spreading to every corner of the city.
However, the cheers of these Huaidi or Beidi accents sounded to the defenders on the Lin'an city wall, but they were no different from the spells that urged life. Victory belongs to the Ming army, from the east of Lin'an City near Hangzhou Bay to the north of Lin'an City, the entire twenty-seven or eight miles of front, at least twenty-two or three miles, has been broken through by the Ming army!
Fifty thousand of the 100,000 regimental training soldiers that Li Tingzhi had cobbled together were scattered on this long front, and they were almost simultaneously attacked by more than twice as many steel-armored soldiers. These soldiers wearing steel armor and holding large horizontal swords and bows and arrows quietly touched the distance less than a hundred paces in front of the Song army's trenches, and at the same time as the cannon sounded, they suddenly burst out, some of them threw arrows a hundred paces away with their bows, and the rest moved away from the deer and rejected the horses, like evil tigers to pounce on the trench where the Song army was entrenched. The Song army in the trench and the artillery fort behind the trench didn't have time to react at all, and the steel-armored warriors had already rushed into the trench, followed by hand-to-hand combat without suspense.
After years of training, the Ming Sergeant is probably the strongest soldier in the world in hand-to-hand combat. Dressed in steel armor, invulnerable; A horizontal knife, piercing iron like clay! The veterans who have been tempered for many years are all men in the prime of life, and they naturally kill people without blinking an eye on the battlefield! Even the most elite cowardly Xue of Great Mongolia is not an opponent, not to mention these Song army trainings who have no fighting spirit at all.
If it was a battle during the day, the regimental training of the Great Song Dynasty might be able to resist a little. But in the melee at night, it is the bravery of the individual, the equipment of the individual soldiers, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers. Compared with. The regimental training of the Great Song Dynasty was completely at the point of being crushed. Even the number of soldiers, they are an absolute disadvantage.
"It's down! It's down! ”
"Stop fighting. We are willing to surrender ......"
The Song army was crushed at the first touch, and their shouts of killing could hardly be heard on the battlefield, and some were only begging for surrender.
There were also some defeated soldiers who did not surrender, but rushed to the city gates in the east of Lin'an City (there is no city gate in the north of Lin'an City) in despair, and wanted to retreat into the city. But the gates had long been closed, and the drawbridges had been pulled up. When the defeated soldiers arrived here, they were all blocked, and they could neither enter the city nor have the courage to go back and fight again. Mixed in one place. Just crying and shouting.
"Open the door, put the drawbridge! Let's go into town......"
"The thief is powerful, he can't beat it! All of them have steel armor, they can't cut with knives, they can't penetrate with guns, they can only stand up to death! ”
"Brothers defending the city, have pity on us, we are also Song Army, they have all surrendered. We are still thinking about the imperial court, and we still want to enter the city to fight. ”
"Open the door, I'm a showman from Taizhou, my surname is Du. Our whole family called Chen Thief to be harmed! I don't share the sky with Chen Thief! ”
Du Xiucai, who claimed to be from Taizhou, was Lai Toad, the Lai Toad who fell in love with Du Thirteen Sister and couldn't eat it in his mouth!
He is now also wearing the red battle jacket of the Song Army's training, as well as a bright leather armor. In his hand, he also holds a sword made of Nanfen Steel - this outfit really looks like a talented boy.
Of course, Lai Toad was not voted to Song by Ming. Du Thirteen's "death" did make him sad, but the land given by Chen Shengren has made his family live a life of "being a human being". He doesn't have to worry about his wife or anything, before he left Taizhou, there was already a matchmaker who came to the door to protect him as a matchmaker! Although the other party is not a big family like the Du family, it is said that he is also a well-informed family.
Therefore, the toad was just thinking about the thirteenth sister, and had no intention of avenging her. Now the toad's goal is to be a scholar, that is the real master, a noble man who rests with the country! Therefore, the toad volunteered to join the death squad, and came to the city with thousands of soldiers with the same life ideals.
The defenders at the head of the city are also regimental training soldiers of the two Zhejiang. Li Tingzhi transferred his Suizhou army and Wurui army out of the city for the trench battle outside the city. Therefore, the people who defend the city now are all newcomers who have never been on the battlefield, and they don't know that there is a "mixed city". And they all heard it clearly, and the people who shouted below were all pure Zhejiang sounds, and they were clearly fellow villagers! Looking at it again, the Ming army didn't seem to be chasing, they stopped and gasped after occupying the trench and the artillery fort behind the trench. The leader of the regimental training army guarding the gate was really moved by compassion and ordered the opening of the city.
"Drop the drawbridge! Hurry up and put the suspension bridge! Open the gates ......"
……
Jia Rudao didn't know at this time that his city gate had been deceived - if he was still commanding the imperial army of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter how bad these soldiers were, they would not make such a low-level mistake. Whether it is the general gate or the officers who have been promoted in the ranks, they all know that the city gate is the most important thing in the battle to defend the city, even if it is to be opened, it must be opened after consulting a city lord, where is it so unauthorized to open the city and put the drawbridge?
However, Jia Rudao's mood at this time was as if it were ashes. Dozens of Jia soldiers gathered around him, just looking anxiously at their commander.
Outside the city wall, although Li Tingzhi still has a military formation of tens of thousands of people, he is still trying to use artillery to bombard the enemy. But the entire front has collapsed. Most of the trenches and fortresses that the Song army had painstakingly dug had now changed hands. The battlefield was full of cheers from the Ming army, and everywhere was the rout of the Song army.
Even if the tens of thousands of troops in Li Tingzhi's hands still have the strength to fight, this battle outside Lin'an City will be completely defeated without suspense!
Now that at least twenty miles of trenches have been captured by the Ming army, they only need to spend a few days to expand them, digging dozens of gun emplacements that can place 10-inch mortars, and they can collapse the Lin'an city wall without any suspense. When the time comes...... The watchtower where Jia Rudao is located, I'm afraid it will be the first to be bombed, right?
"Master, retreat......"
It was one of Jia Nidao's nephews who spoke. led his pro-military camp, pressed the waist knife and looked at everything in front of him with a pale face. The scene of the defeat of the 100,000-strong army was so tragic that the thought of what would happen next made his voice tremble.
Jia Yidao was unconscious, and just muttered to himself: "Why did you lose again?" How did you lose so quickly? 100,000 troops fighting in trenches, how can they withstand ten days and half a month, right? How did it collapse like this in half a night? This regiment's training is also a show of talent in charge of the troops, and it is also a combination of soldiers and peasants, all of which are strategies to eliminate drawbacks and greatly cheer up, so why can't it? ”
Thundered!
More than a dozen huge fireballs suddenly rose up in the dense formation of the Song army at this time! They were bombarded with 10-inch mortars! It was a 120-kilogram artillery shell, which was originally used to bombard the Song army's artillery forts -- the Ming army's "Artillery Operations Manual" stipulated the principle of "artillery first, infantry second," that is, bombarding the enemy's artillery first, and then hitting the enemy's infantry. Therefore, for half the night, the artillery group of the Ming army was bombarding the artillery base of the Song army. did not bombard the Song infantry lined up behind the Song artillery forts. However, the effect of bombarding the artillery fortress was not good, on the one hand, the Song army's artillery fortress was strong and difficult to destroy; On the one hand, the accuracy of the powerful mortar is very poor, and it is difficult to pose a threat to the smaller artillery base.
As a result, Land Rover, who was commanding operations in front of the enemy, was very impatient, so he simply threw aside the provisions of the "Artillery Operations Manual" and ordered 12 mortars to directly bombard Li Tingzhi's infantry formation......
"Taishi, it's no good, retreat!" The staff members who gathered around Jia Rudao saw this scene, and their legs and feet were weak.
Twelve fireballs exploded in the crowd! How many people would have to die then!?
If this falls on the head of the big guys, then they all have to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty......
Before Jia Yidao could answer, he heard a huge noise erupting from the battle line on the other side of Dongcheng, which spread throughout Lin'an City with the sea breeze blowing from the mouth of the Qiantang River. He turned his head to look there, and saw that in the early glow of the sun, a huge banner of the sun and moon was already flying over the city gate somewhere in the east of the city.
The Ming army actually attacked Dongcheng!
How is this possible!?
Everyone was stunned. However, the progress of the Ming army was extremely fast, and the Sun and Moon banners were erected at the commanding heights and city gates everywhere. I don't know how many Song legions are training and the Yimen family members who were placed in Dongcheng, all crying and rushing westward. There is also a wall that separates the eastern city from the main city of Lin'an.
However, several gates there were not closed!
Finished!
The same thought flashed through everyone's mind. They originally thought that they could rely on Lin'an City to compete with the Ming army, but they didn't expect that under the overwhelming firepower and combat power of the Ming army, what regiment trained the army and what show talent was in charge of the army, it was not worth mentioning at all.
The regimental training army of the two Zhejiang provinces is a combination of nerds and peasant uncles. Moreover, it is also a lost dog who has lost his hometown -- the clan on which this regimental training is based, that is, the landlord's clan has mastered the tenants (the families of the regimental training soldiers are under the control of the regimental training leader). If there is no such relationship, the regimental training army will be scattered......
Jia seems to be like a dead face, standing in the cold morning breeze in a daze, is he really going to die here?
"Master, let's go! Retreat to the Imperial City! Stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood to burn......"
Weng Yinglong suddenly yelled at the surrounding Jia family soldiers, "What are you waiting for? Don't hurry up and take the master away! As long as we keep the Taishi, we can have a way to live! ”
His words woke everyone up, Jia Nidao is their master, and what they will do in the future is all pinned on Jia Nidao! If Jia Rudao died, what hope did they have? Thinking of this, everyone rushed up, grabbed Jia Yidao's hands and feet, and carried him to the city as if he were carrying a dead man.
It's just like this, can you really keep Jia Yidao? (To be continued......)
